franky03 Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hello hive mind, I was renting an original Lectro Lm TX from a friend and ran into this problem: it booted fine (lights etc) but immediatly shutdown afterwards. I didnt have much time to look into it so I just grabbed another set of his but wanted to know the cause. Im guessing its in some kind of mode/reset state?!? TIA Franky 1633392735_Lmshutdown.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just to check, and to ask the obvious... but have you tried out a different battery in it? (as this could be caused by battery being right on the edge of dying, that would be my first guess) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 or possibly the spacing of the battery as i have had to put a few layers of gaffers once to keep the pressure of certain batteries inside maintaining contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franky03 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Battery was brand new and worked fine in all other tx... Franky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward chick Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I’m guessing the contact springs are shot. Like OSA suggested a small bit of gaff tape or even a cardboard wedge between the batt door and the battery would help secure the batt against the contacts. Other than that… it’s old and like anything else that is well used regardless of how well it’s been treated, it may need some maintenance. If Lectrosonics no longer services it, try Jaycee communications in NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Geldof Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 I had a similar issue with an ancient UM200B, used as a backup TX a few weeks back. I thought it was shot, until I sprayed some contact cleaner on the battery tabs. Good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
